Ingredients:

·        1 ½ lb (approx..) salmon fillet (King, Coho, and Sockeye are good options)

·        1 ½ cup vegetable stock

·        1 cup dry white wine (if you don’t want wine, add an extra cup of stock or water)

·        1 sliced shallot

·        2 whole peeled cloves of garlic

·        Zest from one lemon

·        Dill – 4-6 sprigs of fresh dill is ideal (use dry if you must)

·        Parsley – 4-6 sprigs of fresh parsley is ideal

·        Salt and pepper to taste

·        Garnish with 2 or 3 lemon slices and fresh chopped parsley

Directions:

1)     In a large sauté pan combine stock, wine, lemon zest, shallot, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Taste the poaching liquid and adjust seasoning accordingly.

2)     Season salmon with a light sprinkle of salt before immersing it gently into the boiling liquid. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid.

3)     Cook for 5-10 minutes (depending on thickness of the fish) until done. 

4)     Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

5)     Enjoy!!!
